A black/white wire behind the instrument panel, at least for the 2001 E53 4.4i.

Weasel will become famous soon enough
You could also use the "online WDS" link at the page top and look up the wiring diagram. Thats the same system the dealers use.

White connector for mine.

Does yours have more than one black wire with white stripe?

And are you looking ofor the wire for the speed sensor for GPS?
